“Just Sitting in a Cell, You and Me”: Sponsoring Writing in a County Jail

Michelle Curry Colorado State University ; Tobi Jacobi Colorado State University

Abstract

Entering jail is an assault on the senses. Thick recirculated air feels either drafty or stuffy, never comfortable. The walls protrude with a stark, dingy white, bare of character or care. The smell is sterile, some unidentifiable cleanser stinging the tongue and nostrils. Doors clang shut and open via invisible mechanics. The wall-mounted eye of the panopticon is omnipresent.
